Have your say on methane-reducing supplements
13 September 2022
Reducing enteric methane emissions from red meat is a key challenge on the red meat industry’s journey to becoming carbon neutral by 2030 (CN30).
What we want to know
With new methane reducing active ingredients becoming available, supplementation is shaping up to be one of key tools producers can use to address this challenge on-farm.
However, as producers know, the best method of supplementing livestock will depend on the individual operation.
Consequently, MLA wants to understand more about:
- how beef cattle and sheep producers currently supplement their livestock
- which delivery forms of methane reducing products are producers most likely to use.
To help gather this information, producers are encouraged to participate in the surveys below, which take approximately 15 to 20 minutes to complete. To complete the survey, you will need to have information about your stock numbers and the supplements you feed handy.
Sheep producers as well as producers running cattle in WA or the NT are particularly encouraged to complete the surveys.
The results will allow MLA and its partners to focus their research and development on the supplementation products best for producers, therefore helping our industry to achieve its CN30 goal.
Your chance to win
Survey responses are anonymous, and the results will be aggregated, summarised and reported according to practice groups and Natural Resource Management region.
As a reward for participating in the survey, you’ll go in the running to win one of 30 $50 YETI gift cards to spend on their range of eskys, drinkware and more.
